SubjectRe: PCI DMA to small buffers on cache-incoherent arch
From

That's fine but there are drivers (USB, etc) doing

struct something {
int field1;
char dma_buffer[SMALLER_THAN_CACHE_LINE];
int field2;
};

struct something *dev = kmalloc(sizeof *dev, GFP_KERNEL);

Do they have to change to

How about allocating struct something using pci_pool?
